Official inspector report claims US beef to be safe

The Council of Agriculture yesterday released the official report of the findings by a government safety-inspection tour, affirming U.S. oversight as rigorous and U.S. beef as safe.

The official findings, which were supposed to be reported by COA Minister Chen Bao-ji (陳保基) last week, were posted in a report via the website of the COA's Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine. The conclusion was largely the same as the press report issued by the inspection team upon their return on May 27.
